A prayer wheel is a cylindrical 'wheel' on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather, or even coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit externally on the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are Dakinis, Protectors and very often the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers. It is said that prayer wheels are used to accumulate wisdom and merit or good karma and to purify nativities such as bad karma.

I would close my eyes, breathe deeply and blow…so many prayers for so many years were left at Your feet. Petitioning. Pleading. Finally, resigning…not giving up, mind you, resigning. Resigning to rest in the knowledge that You know more than me and that’s good enough. You created me…you know how desperately I wanted to be a mother.
In perfect timing, you brought, Isabella Noel (fist beautiful gift) then Sophie Claire (clear wisdom). Mother’s Day will always remind me of the road I’ve traveled. I am truly, truly, blessed beyond measure.

Prayer wheels are quite common in Nepal, and are said to give the person who turns them good luck. This one is less common, as it fills a whole room and requires quite some strength to turn. Always turn in the clockwise direction!
Available for prayer, at the synagogue. Many people turned out, yesterday, for an interfaith event. More details in photos below, on my photostream.

As the temple was under renovation, all the big statues had been moved outside and were inside sitting in a temporary glassed-in shelter.
This pillow (for kneeling while praying) was sitting in front of the glassed-in shelter so that pilgrims could still pray while the construction work was under way.

Mother, may this prayer be granted:
That Christ's love may be implanted
In the depths of my poor soul.
At the cross, your sorrow sharing,
All your grief and torment bearing,
Let me stand and mourn with you.
Fairest maid of all creation,
Queen of hope and consolation,
Let me feel your grief sublime.
The Bhutanese government has warned its citizens not to cut down thousands of young trees every year to make poles for hoisting Buddhist prayer flags.
It said that the felling of trees is a threat to the tiny kingdom's beauty and undermines the government's duty to promote "Gross National Happiness".
The flags are flown by Himalayan Buddhists to help the dead find the right path in their next life.
They believe that the more flag poles put up for the departed the better.
Buddhist monks say fresh poles must be used each time.
Government figures show that between June 2007 to June 2008, 60,178 trees - about 165 every day - were felled to meet the demand for poles.
About 550 trees were felled daily for other uses.
'Merit earned'
"There's an immense pressure on the forest," forestry department spokesman Gopal Mahat told the Kuensel newspaper.
The government has a constitutional duty to protect forestry
"We can't stop granting permits, especially for important religious rites because it involves sentiments," he said. "The demand is for straight, young trees, which have the potential of becoming crop trees."
Many Bhutanese Buddhists believe that the ideal number of prayer flags for deceased people is 108, preferably made from freshly cut trees.
"If you reuse an old flag pole, you aren't putting in enough effort, which means the merit earned is compromised," Buddhist monk Gyem Tshering told Kuensel. "Ideally, you should hoist 108 flags, but if you can afford more, it'll help the dead find the right path."
Officials warn that this approach means that most of Bhutan's forest will be gone within the next 20 years and that trees are already being cut down deeper and deeper within forests.
The problem has become so serious that forestry officers in the capital Thimpu have restricted the number of prayer flags posts to 29.
Plans are also afoot to persuade people to switch to bamboo for prayer flags, but a similar initiative recently launched to encourage people to use steel was unsuccessful.
Bhutan's constitution, which emphasises the importance of Gross National Happiness over Gross Domestic Product, stipulates the country must have at least 60% forest cover.
